slam your brakes on and you will lock up, the v6 ones will lock up when your going faster tho, treat brakes with respect and they will be fine!

how do they fit on?

do you just undo the standard ones and tehy fit right on, or do you have to buy a conversion kit?

that goes for the discs and calipers! ?

the v6 braided hoses should work with 2.0 brakes... the bolt that holds them in place that let fluid into the caliper may be different though...

i used the same hoses for my v6 brakes as well as my reyland 4-pots.... the bolts were different though.....

All the brakes Vauxhall use that can be fitted to your can use the same unions and hose joints. You need Corsa specific hoses and you will be able to interchange your calipers as much as you like. However, just go for 2.0 brakes striaght away. I fitted mine yesterday, they are so much firmer and more powerfull even on the standard hoses, they only cost me £30 too....
